Howlin, mercy x 2
How could he harm a helpless child
My sisters always said don’t trust him
But I was too young to understand
My sisters always said don’t trust him
But I was too young to understand
How could we hide from my father
And his cold cruel, wounding hands
Howlin mercy x 2
My sisters always said don’t struggle
Mama won’t come if you call
My sisters always said don’t struggle
Mama won’t come if you call
But where could we hide from my father
At night when he’d creep down the hall
Howlin mercy x 2
His breath in the darkness
A shadow of a man
His eyes were always hungry
Prowling wolf among the lambs Howlin Mercy, Howlin Mercy
My sisters always said their nightmares
They’re still as real as life
My sisters always said their nightmares
They’re still as real as life
Where could we hide from my father
He left his poison deep inside
Howlin mercy
How could he harm a helpless child?
